4 hour mark. starting Q and A section. with Jonathan, mark, rory, and Hrishikesh(the item designer) gold is the first question. ha. figured. they don't think gold will be a trading currency. its too easy to obtain. like scrolls of wisdom. they don't expect you to use all 9 skills all the...

weapon swap might enable some interesting things with trap/dagger, or bow/dagger. a crit build that has ranged, but then can swap to melee. or, trash trapping, and boss self cast. Run speed mapping, and then swapping to boss killing weaponset. next section of day 2, was some streamers...

item design panel from day 2, for poe2. want more identity for weapon types. axes feel more like axes. quarterstaves moved to dex/int. spears/xbow/flails new. traps are an actual weapon now, not spells. stat differences in base items is much greater. daggers start at 15% base crit...

That vid was from back in 2019.

yeah, they have always been pretty open about stuff. giving out design info pretty early. and yeah. blizzard could steal/adapt.. but they haven't yet so... hell, the entire point of the animation panel was to give out tips to new animators. anyway, I got interrupted to go for a bike ride, so...

jumping ahead. poe reddit is saying kripps gameplay showcase shows a better view of the gameplay. apparently he had a hour, versus 30min of others. and had a chance to actually stop read skills, craft gear because of it. crafted himself a weapon that doubled his dps or something, so let him...

some notes from marks presentation as I watch it. 600+ new enemies. bosses now have multiple hitboxes. in poe1 enemies were a square hitbox only. which limited the size of the boss. poe2 allows bosses to be much larger, and be mobile in the map creatures, not just set pieces. giant boss...

day 2. https://www.youtube.com/live/XE3MAFGDzWw?feature=share first presentation is animation, shaders, etc. very tech heavy. alexander sannikov 1h30min mark roberts. bosses and monsters of poe2.

it is oddly quiet. yeah. look at the people drooling over bg3. I think its the fairly large silence on the game. they aren't showing us much. no previews, not alot of footage, etc. we just don't have a ton of info to dive into. its all new, and we are all waiting. it if was TES, people...

day two is at 10am NZ, or 6pm eastern us time. first panel will be poe 2 Q and A.

ha. later in the vid, the Q&A section. this is the tech section. got the coder, etc. most of the question so far have been meh. but someone asks about "nearby". and what a clusterfuck haha. Feels like Chris is trolling his devs here. he outright says he's cherry picking questions. and...

ok, so the video is not clipped yet. its just the whole 9 hour deal.. This is a link to the Rory rackham, ed tate, and Jonathan Rogers panel. (4h 58min mark) Rory is the lead designer. hes the guy for meat and potatoes of the game. ed tate is the new animation guy. Jonathan rogers is...

PoE1 started out with slower, planned out combat. multiple skills were viable, etc. Power creep turned poe 1 into poe 1. so it could just be a reset like that. Also, preset builds/gear. clearly gave players test builds, not an optimized farming character. think of every time they show...

this rory presentation is really informative on their thoughts on skill design. Im not sure I agree with the causes or solutions. I think the gear socket system is very good and important.

yeah, those MTX are incredable. they never addressed the gold dropping. nor minimap. no mention of character customation either.

this league looks pretty solid too.

eating dinner so, not giong to add notes for this section. just going to mention this weapon swap thing. can assign weapon sets to weapons, and using a skill will swap to that weapon. edit: adding some of the things I noted while eating. passives added from books can be swapped via afore...

hasnt opened the minimap. must be hiding it for a reveal.

"spear focused huntress". I think we knew it, but still. enemies are dropping gold. 6 acts. most melee skills have movement built in. mouse near player, will stay in place, mouse far with leap towards mouse. can turn while attacking. space bar to dodge roll. no cd. unlimited. doesnt get...

poe 2 will be a separate client. they decided to split them so as to ensure poe2 won't be hamstrung by old mechanics. all microtansactions/account will be shared however.

its up now.

bards are very strong in 5e yeah. jack of all trades, master of all of them too.

ooph this is rough, and worrisome. This is Annette. https://castlevania.fandom.com/wiki/Annette Richters gf. bad end is possessed by and becomes Reincarnated Carmilla. now, Black Caribean freedom fighter. no longer a damsel, now a strong female character, with male purse puppy. Maria. little...

disparu made a pretty funny point on the absurdity of this finale. fury didnt want to call in the Avengers. A. becuase it might result in a skrull stealing their powers. B. didn't want to have to constantly rely on aliens to save the day. he insists this right up to the end of episode 5...

does the bg3 alpha let you see the world map? how does it function? thats one major complaint on owlcats world maps, no one likes them.

i mean, isn't that what half of us have been doing with bg3 and discussing builds? or every Path of exile season. big difference here is its a new ip, and game system, can't really preplan. mad lads like this datamining, or autistically recreating the skill tree from videos, haha. you guys...

the same thing Disney and every hollywood,san fran,ny, and la company has been thinking since 2016 election. what did YOU think was going to be different?

yeah, these are both very good points. level 12 cap, raw fighter is likely going to be much stronger then any caster. basic ass longbow fighter would be a machine. tadpoles, and what items are in the game will effect best choices as well. And just in general, how class abilities, feats...

Bonus Action A spell cast with a bonus action is especially swift. You must use a bonus action on your turn to cast the spell, provided that you haven’t already taken a bonus action this turn. You can’t cast another spell during the same turn, except for a cantrip with a casting time of 1...

yeah, and should be noted for those not up to date with 5e. Cantrips scale with character level. character, not class. vicious mockery there At Higher Levels. This spell’s damage increases by 1d4 when you reach 5th level (2d4), 11th level (3d4), and 17th level (4d4). that doesnt mean...

rangers back in the day were dual wield specialists or bowmen. but more melee rangers.

most op will depend heavily on how resting is implemented. as I said earlier, if paladins are allowed full rests with no time restrictions, they are broken op. what feats and how they are implimented with matter for some. Same with spells. wizards primary power, in the form of huge spell...

cohh is like the only streamer that plays everquest, and people here shitting on him. madness.

Cohh has been in multiple games at this point. the first time, yeah, you probably want your character to be supercool and liked. by the 5th time, you likely are far more cheeky about it. He's voiced a few chracter, solasta notably. (he's a horrible va)

A very weird one. "frat guys bored and poop pants". then go on to make all the same complaints they say frat guys are going to make. They spent alot of time at the start insisting how smart and enlightened they are, to go on and make those complaints.

how are dialogues handled in this? controlled character does the talking/skill checks or, everyone pitches in as needed? its something I would like to see done in crpgs. party chipping in is great. but, I'd like to see it taken to the next level, to actually voice the character chipping in. an...

Also, needs to be pointed out. Roleplaying. the entire point is to put yourself into a role that isn't you, and play it. this is EXPRESSLY setting up boundries and limiting rules that you are supposed to challenge yourself with. Anyone thats ever done anything creative knows thats a fact...

shit, yeap. 5e lets you +2 a single ability score. I also didn't mention fighters get additional ASI at 6 and 14. rogues at 10. https://dicecove.com/how-to-play/ability-score-improvement/

I don't see any hits for "voice acting guild". I know crit role people are all Sag. and SAG-Aftra was responcible for the video game voice actor strike bakc in 2016-17. everything I see says yes, voice actors are Sag-aftra.
